I am part of the IT Team at the Mathematical Institute.

My job title, "Full-Stack Development Lead", is a fancy way of saying "web developer" – i.e. I build websites and web-based software.

I'm currently working from home Mon-Tue, and in the office until 4pm Wed-Fri.

I look after:

• The Mathematical Institute website (Drupal)
• The CMI website (WordPress - developed by One Ltd)
• The courses system (Moodle)
• The workflow system (Drupal + Maestro)
• The teaching database (Laravel + Filament)
• The door entry management system (Laravel + Salto)
• The electronic notice boards (JavaScript)
• The IT asset database (web2py)
• The IT team wiki (MediaWiki)
• Some other IT tools (phpMyAdmin, phpLDAPadmin)
• The VMs hosting all of the above (Ganeti, Puppet)

Before I joined the department in February 2023, I was a Senior Developer at Alberon for 15 years, where I specialised in Laravel and WordPress development, system administration (Ubuntu, cPanel) and DevOps (Ansible, Terraform, AWS). Projects included turn IT on, the International Association of Hydrogeologists, Oxford's Department of Physics and Department of Computer Science, and many more.

I also created Laravel Breadcrumbs, an open source PHP package, and maintained it until April 2020. More recently, I built an open source task runner: Bin CLI.
